Hey,

 

i need some cheap comp specially for leo. I was going to use an integrated video on motherboard so please advice some mobos that works for sure

 

If you want cheap and compatible I'd go for a gigabyte board with intel945 chipset and gma950 graphics. There are quite a few variations but most of them are okay

any1?

 

Edit: oops

 

Most of them, as long as it has realtek lan card and either alc662 or alc888 sound I think alc888 is probably better but not as common

you can check here

look in 10.5.2 motherboards section

 

but your looking for something like GA-945GCMX-S2

 

Don't know what you had in mind processor wise but if you want cheap celeron e1200 as its a conroe core

tnx man. I was going to get some of intel core 2 duo, celeron is quite old i think

e1200 is fairly new its basically e2160 with half the cache.

If I were you I'd try and go for one that's a conroe core 1mb cache or 4mb cache, or one of the new 45nm chips if you can afford it

Hey, ive been digging local stores to see what they can offer. I dont have much money right now but this is the configuration ive come to so far:

  1. CPU: Pentium Dual Core E2200
  2. RAM: DDR2 SDRAM 2048Mb; PC-6400; 800 MHz; Transcend
  3. Mobo: Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2C; LGA775; i945GC; 2xDDR2(667); 1xPCIE(x16); 1xPCIE(x1); 2xPCI; Video; S-ATA II; AC 8ch; LAN 1Gb; mATX
  4. HDD: 250 Gb; Seagate Barracuda; ST3250410AS; 16Mb cache; SATA

Problems with this build:

  1. Mobo is limited to old DDR2 667. No space for future updates.
  2. Mobo has only two RAM slots

If possible, please advice any mobo under $100 with built-in graphics that works without any troubles and at least DDR2 800mhz support. This rig is for my friend while i myself have P5K-VM mobo, on latest iDeneb i got no sound/lan. The plan is to run xCode and leopard.

only problem I know of is with integrated graphics, but if your gonna use a pci-e card no probs

 

link to someone who's used one

ive read reports that video works out of box on fixed resolution

Seems a bit experimental at the moment, but the way things are progressing I'm sure someone will find a perfect solution before long.
